Join us for a HAPPI Hour celebrating the launch of the Amar Bari Amar Jibon (My Home, My Life) research report, a landmark study exploring the housing experiences, cultural values and aspirations of older Bangladeshi adults (probin) in East London.
Overview
This webinar will highlight key findings and stories from the project, unpack how housing and living arrangements shape health and quality of life in later years, and reflect on the implications for culturally-sensitive housing policy and practice.
Drawing on community voices, research partners and practitioners, we’ll discuss barriers and opportunities to improving housing environments for diverse ageing populations, share lessons on co-production and engagement with marginalised communities, and consider what this research means for inclusive housing strategies locally and nationally.
